CA – Top Level Players leading their teams to the CCS Tournament

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some of these players are from powerhouse programs such as Bellarmine College Prep and Archbishop Mitty. The Bellarmine Bells are in 1st place (10-0-2) and (14-1-3) overall in the WCAL (West Catholic League). Bellarmine is ranked as the #19th team in CA. Mitty is currently the 3rd place team in the super competitive WCAL league with a league record of (6-3-4) and an overall record of (10-3-6). Both of these teams hold a NorCal Championship. Bellarmine won the 2023 NorCal Division 2 Championship in 2023. Archbishop Mitty won the 2024 NorCal Division 1 Championship in 2024. The best part is that both teams will be featured in a final match showdown on 2/19/25. I wouldn't miss this match for the world.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other schools are either in 1st place or competing to get to the CCS (Central Coast Tournament). Those teams are Mountain View (1st Place) in the Santa Clara Valley - De Anza League with a league record of (11-1-1) and an overall record of (15-1-3). Mountain View is ranked as the #26th team in CA. Westmont is also a 1st place team in the BVAL (Blossom Valley Athletic League). They compete in the Mt. Hamilton division, the highest in their league. They are the #88th team in CA and have a league record of (11-1-1) and an overall record of (14-3-1).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final two teams with players featured are from Los Gatos and Cristo Rey in San Jose. Although Cristo Rey does not compete as an A league team, their most impressive story is that they scored their 100th goal in their 18th match. At that time, they went into the match as the 1st place team in the PSAL (Private School Athletic League) - South League. Los Gatos is currently the 6th place team in the Santa Clara Valley—De Anza League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Forwards</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
